NH Attorney General to investigate house fire

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire attorney general's office is identifying two people who were severely burned in a Wentworth house fire that authorities are now calling suspicious.

Sixty-year-old Barry Winters and 57-year-old Evelyn Spodnik are being treated at Boston hospitals.

Assistant Attorney General Jane Young, who handles homicide cases, is leading the investigation. Young says the fire, which was confined to the second floor of the home, is being investigated as suspicious. She spent much of the day at the scene.

The fire broke out shortly before 2 a.m. Wednesday at a home at 284 Rowen town Road. The state police major crime squad is at the scene.
